The Urban Romance of Miracle Doctor

Chapter 72 The Jewelry Exhibition

　　Julian Zhou's family business was all over the country, and even in international territories. The jewelry displayed in the exhibition today were all treasures of each state. Any one of them had values ranged from thousands of dollars to tens of millions of dollars.

　　In particular, the three pieces of jewelry in the center of the whole exhibition had a sky-high price of more than 100 million yuan.

　　Such expensive jewelry gathered here naturally could not be taken lightly, so today's security measures were extremely strict. There were even some retired special forces soldiers secretly mixed in the crowd with guns in case of accidents.

　　In fact, with Julian Zhou's family background, he didn't need to learn medicine to earn money at all. Every time they asked Julian Zhou why, he always said with a bitter face that he had a crazy father.

　　"Jacob Ye, you're finally here." Seeing that Jacob Ye had arrived, Julian came over to welcome and greet him. Then he pointed to the most precious necklace in the center and said, "That is the best thing made with your King Green Jadeite."

　　Jacob Ye looked at the direction he was pointing in. It was a necklace made of platinum. In the center of it was an extremely large King Green Jadeite, and it was inlaid with diamonds. It looked colorful.

　　Jacob Ye was speechless. He smiled and said, "With such a big stone and the platinum, I'm afraid it's no less than a few pounds. Who will wear it?"

　　Julian Zhou laughed and said, "You don't understand this, do you? Now everyone has the desire to compare with each other. Such a necklace, how generous it is... Haha."

　　The necklace was called Eternal Heart and was valued more than 100 million yuan.

　　Julian Zhou was really busy today. After greeting Jacob Ye, he went off welcoming other people. The people who came today were either rich or powerful, so he couldn't neglect them. With this jewelry exhibition pulled through, Julian Zhou was going to make a lot of money again.

　　Jacob Ye then walked around alone.

　　Jacob Ye had to agree that he was impressed with how successful Julian Zhou's connection with the upperclassmen were. In just half an hour of work, more than ten relatively expensive jewelry transactions had already been made.

　　"Jacob Ye, is that you?"

　　A familiar voice came from behind him.

　　Jacob Ye froze. When he looked back, he saw Heather Hsiao standing behind him in amazement.

　　Today Heather Hsiao was wearing a light purple evening gown which changed her previous image of a capable professional. Instead, she presented a more of a mature look, which made people want to impress her.

　　Jacob Ye swallowed hard. At this moment, he felt like a needle was stuck on his back, he could imagine all the men around him staring at him with jealousy.

　　Jacob Ye smiled and said, "My friend invited me to have a look around. I can't afford anything here."

　　Jacob Ye was not talking nonsense. He wouldn't buy anything that cost millions or even tens of millions. Although he had a fortune, he doesn't want to throw that away yet. Besides, he doesn't like these luxury goods.

　　Heather Hsiao smiled sweetly, "You must be kidding me. You were able to enter the Gloria VIP exhibition center, but you tell me you can't afford these things?"

　　The two continued chatting and looked around casually. Jacob Ye was really just here to fill up space. Julian Zhou was too busy earning money that he didn't have any chance to come talk to him.

　　Soo, it was already noon. Heather Hsiao bought a piece of jewelry and said with a smile, "Jacob Ye, are you free at noontime? Do you want to have lunch together? It's my treat. After the massage that day, I feel much more comfortable. I need to repay you somehow."

　　Thinking of the warmth of last time, Heather Hsiao's charming face showed a hint of shyness, and it looked exceptionally attractive surrounded by all kinds of jewelry.

　　Jacob Ye smiled and said, "Of course, as you wish."

　　"What do you want to eat?"

　　"The guest follows the host's instructions."

　　After bidding farewell to Julian Zhou, Jacob Ye and Heather Hsiao came to a western restaurant.

　　Jacob Ye didn't actually fancy Western food all that much. There were too many complicated etiquette, and some self-righteous people would despise you if you didn't do it right.

　　But since Heather Hsiao suggested it, Jacob Ye didn't say much about it. He followed her to a seat near the window.

　　After ordering a steak, Jacob Ye handed the menu back. In his opinion, the only edible Western food was steak. The other food just didn't taste right.

　　Heather Hsiao ordered a foie gras, and then asked for a bottle of 1982 Lafite. She made sure Jacob Ye didn't need anything else before setting down the menu.

　　Jacob Ye could not help but smile bitterly, "Heather, the wine is unnecessary. Seriously, I'm not used to the taste of red wine."

　　"What kind of alcohol do you like to drink?"

　　Jacob Ye replied, "Beer and white wine are fine, I just don't like red wine."

　　Heather Hsiao said with a smile, "You're humorous, this is a western restaurant, I highly doubt there'll be beer nor white wine. Sorry, I can't make that wish come true."

　　Jacob Ye touched his nose a little bit shyly. Heather Hsiao's smile seemed even more charming, which made him lose his mind for a moment.

　　He knew clearly in his heart that someone with the elegance Heather Hsiao had would definitely be someone who is already married and has kids. But he just couldn't help seducing her.

　　The waiter brought two glasses of aperitif and left.

　　Then, an extremely uncomfortable voice sounded beside the two of them: "Heather, you're here too?"

　　Heather Hsiao looked back, her face immediately turned gloomy, she turn her head back, ignoring the intruder.

　　The man continued resolutely, "Heather, we are husband and wife after all. You can't be so ruthless."

　　The man stepped forward, staring at Jacob Ye and asked, "Who is this person? Is he the gigolo you've been hanging out with?"

　　"Joshua Xie, don't spout nonsense, this is just my friend." Heather Hsiao's face flushed, and she apologized to Jacob Ye, "I'm sorry, this is my ex-husband."

　　"Ex-husband?" Joshua Xie was angry, he yelled, "We haven't gotten divorced yet, okay."

　　"Joshua Xie, since you're back, things shall be easier for us. Tomorrow we can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle the divorce formalities."

　　"Heather, everything I did before this was for you, can't you forgive me this once?" Joshua Xie said bitterly.

　　"For me?" she forcefully splashed the aperitif onto Joshua Xie's face.

　　Heather Hsiao was so angry she couldn't breathe properly. She yelled, "Joshua Xie, other than eating, betting, prostituting and spending extravagantly, have you ever thought about me? For all three years of our marriage, have you ever earned a single cent?"

　　It was noontime, and people were coming and going in the restaurant. Some people looked at the two with curiosity. When Heather Hsiao said this, everyone looked at Joshua Xie with disgust.

　　"I think we should find a quiet place to talk properly." Joshua Xie was almost unable to lift his head due to everybody's glares.

　　"No need for that. We can just talk here. You got a problem with that?" Heather Hsiao sneered. "You were willing to give away your wife to a bastard old man just to win his heart, so why don't you dare to admit that now?"
